The 2019 Guess cologne, Guess 1981 Los Angeles, was created by Christine Hassan and is a fresh, spicy scent that is ideal for everyday wear. With smokey undertones of tobacco and a balsamic note of amber, it builds on the woody base notes of sandalwood and vetiver. Geranium serves as the perfume's floral base note, and spiciness is added by mint and ginger. A citrusy overtone is created by combining the luscious top note of plum with a zingy note of bergamot, which is then offset by the spice of black pepper. The end product is a long-lasting, sensual, and softly sillage scent for men.
